The department holds a seat in NIH- and DoD-funded international randomized trials — multicenter work that crosses borders, with Orlando Health as an enrolling site.
Fellows have the opportunity and resources available to be involved at whatever level they desire, with full support from faculty and administration — administrative and statistical support, study coordinators, and a full-time research fellow sit behind the service.
